401 (Unauthorized) Error in V5 works fine in V4

I liked NextPVR and hope they fix this but I ended switching to Telly + Channels DVR. Works perfectly, much faster DVR skipping and the paid TVE integration is really a huge plus.

For Americans TV Everywhere sounds pretty amazing but for the rest of the world it doesn't offer any value and NextPVR is a far better option.

Martin:

I agree with you on TVE and those services should be worldwide. Since Channels DVR has it, it could be added to NPVR as well. On my system, I have OTA channels, TVE channels, and IPTV channels integrated into a single guide. It's prioritized OTA > TVE > IPTV, so if I'm now with Hulu and I get HGTV - EAST, then that channel shows in the guide vs the HGTV - EAST I have through IPTV. If I change providers to Youtube TV and they do not Have HGTV - EAST, then the IPTV version will automatically show in the guide. To anyone else in my household, the guide is completely seemless and the only way anyone knows the channel source is from the channel # sequence that I have set.

The other thing is that the DVR is incredibly fast on Channels and smart enough to, for example, set a 30-sec forward skip for most content but a 15-sec forward skip for sports and it allows me to automatically separate TV and movie DVR content into different directories so that Kodi will know which is which.

Are the TVE recordings DRM'd or can you play them in Kodi?

I use comskip so skipping isn't really my concern. I have NextPVR recording movies into a separate folder from recurring recordings using a recording folder. Most apps have there pluses and minuses.

If someone is willing to share their TVE credentials with me, I can look into adding support for it in NextPVR. PM me for details.

Only non-DRM TVE is supported. It would be fantastic if the DRM channels opened up too but I think that's very unlikely.

I wasn't thinking premium channels.  What I mean was if you record something from HULU or even basic cable with TVE is the recording playable in Kodi.

Yes, there is no DRM. It will create an MPG file (MPEG-TS) and an EDL file with with commercial skip information (which Kodi will also utilize).

Very cool, I can  see why a few users rave about this on the Sage TV forum.

Thanks for providing the sample channel URL via PM - that helped me get to the bottom of it.

I've found the cause, and fixed the issue. I'm intending to put out a new release out in the next couple of days, and it'll include this fix.

Will this pending release be in the announcements or pushed out silently?
